As if Allegro couldn’t get any better, they created donuts!
I’ve never found a bakery that does what Allegro does, their cinnamon rolls are magic! Honorable mention for their chocolate chip cookies, or honestly anything they carry! I recommend this to anyone visiting the Pittsburgh area. I have many friends who aren’t vegan and still say they’re the best cinnamon rolls they’ve ever had.

Take-out only vegan bakery, but wow, it doesn’t matter if you’re vegan or not, everything here is just so yummy! The pastries are so pretty and constantly changing it up. But, the sandwiches, esp the seitan melt, were so delicious. The flavors, the pairings, and of course, their bread is top tier!
One of my favorite spots in Squirrel Hill, worth waiting in line for, do not miss out!

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review of this place yet, because I go out of my way to go here anytime I’m in Pittsburgh. You would not believe what a transcendent experience it is to find *vegan* croissants that are so perfect in every way! All of their baked goods are phenomenal. The only reason for four stars on the atmosphere is because it’s a pretty small storefront with no place to sit. Maybe someday they will be able to expand and offer that, but it’s a small trade-off for their celestial ::angelic choir:: bakery delights and delicious sandwiches! Even my non-vegan family members are stoked when I bring them goodies from Allegro!

The bakery is awesome and the seitan sandwich was really a surprise.
Totally worth it for its price.
$30 for a cinammon roll, apple roll and seitan sandwich.

Don’t be scared off by the fact that it’s a vegetarian/vegan bakery — the breads and pastries here are sensational!
I highly recommend the cinnamon roll. It’s different from the traditional ones and made with laminated dough, which makes it extra special.
Like most bakeries in Pittsburgh, the moment you walk in, the smell really sticks to your clothes and hair — especially the za’atar. Just something to keep in mind!

We used to go to Allegro all the time. The chocolate walnut bar was my favorite. But then they became vegan and we hadn’t really gone back. Now that I’m pregnant and can’t have deli meat we went to get some sandwiches. And we’re blown away by how good it is. 10/10 in taste, texture, flavor. I had the breakfast sandwich. My spouse had the avocado sandwich. The apricot rugelach also bomb. I wanna go back and get the babka.

Lovely little plant based bakery, and they even have some savory items, like sandwiches. They also have gluten free items, and baked goods that meet a lot of different dietary restrictions. I got to try their chocolate chip cookie and cinnamon cruffin.
They were both quite good. The cruffin was more flakey and a bit less buttery than usual. You could just ever so slightly tell it’s plant based. Soft on the inside and has a nice crunch on the outside. A nice coating of sugar, and not bad. Reasonable price and portion.
The chocolate chip cookie was good as well. Very large portion for the price! Tasty, rich chocolate that’s not too sweet. A nice saltiness on top. Pretty good.
All in all, this is a very nice bakery, especially for those with specific restrictions. I enjoyed both the cruffin and the cookie.

I ordered a chocolate cake for a birthday. It was great!! The process was super easy and done online. The order was ready for pick up as promised. There was a little mistake with the order but Toby went above and beyond to rectify things which I really appreciate!

Despite this being my first time at Allegro, they greeted me with “Hello friend” which I found so endearing and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised by the large portions. The sweets were delicious and the sandwiches are to die for. One of the best vegan breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. Everything was so fresh!

The chocolate rugelah is outrageously delicious-having done a lot of travel, both global and stateside, being delighted and surprised with food is harder to come by. What an unexpected treat on an unexpectedly warm day. We devoured the loaf of bread within 2 days-superb balance of crispiness and tender interior. Thank you!
